Dwayne Johnson reflects on fight with his father before his death

Superstar Dwayne Johnson aka The Rockmade an emotional video post in honor of Father's Day -which is celebrated on the third Sunday of June in the USA- reflecting on his relationship with his father, who passed away in 2020, after a sudden heart attack, at the age of seventy-five. He states that last Christmas the two of them fought and until their death they didn't speak to each other and this bothers him to this day.

The fight, according to the actor, occurred at Christmas and three weeks after the incident, his father died and they did not have time to reconcile beforehand. In the video he says that, at the time of recording, which was after running training, he had goosebumps, and that the feeling of having to write some words at the funeral was terrible, a feeling he doesn't want anyone to go through. “I do. I wish he was here one more time so I could say, 'Hey, I love you, happy Father's Day, thanks for raising me with the ability that you had,' even though sometimes it was complicated and sometimes we fought”, said the actor.

Had to tap back in to all my guys out there who – like me – no longer have our fathers to say Happy Father's Day to.

My old man died suddenly a few years ago.
Unfortunately, we got in a fight about a month earlier and I never reconciled with him or even had a chance to say… pic.twitter.com/0KGDHr7L09
